Von Thünen was born 1783 and died 1850. He was a German landowner and is credited with the first serious treatment of spatial economics, The Isolated State. The Von Thünen model of agricultural land use (the Thünen rings) and the concept of highest and best use are relevant today and important fundamental concepts in spatial, regional, and urban economics.
